Transit Security

Cameras

At Tulsa Transit, the safety and security of our customers and employees is a serious matter. To ensure a safe environment, Tulsa Transit has security cameras throughout its system. Every Tulsa Transit city bus and Lift Program vehicle (excluding taxis) are equipped with cameras and audio recorders that are always operating. In addition, our two transfer stations, the Denver Avenue Station and Memorial Midtown Station, are outfitted with cameras, both on the inside and outside. These camera systems not only serve as a deterrent to illegal activity, but also enable Tulsa Transit to examine video and audio for incidents that occur on the buses or at the stations.

Security Officers

The Security Team at Tulsa Transit does an excellent job of maintaining the safety of our employees, customers and property. The Security staff includes private security who are employees of Tulsa Transit. They are there for your protection and to insure a safe ride with Tulsa Transit.

Be involved

Be involved in a lifesaving partnership: transit employees and passengers.
As a resource, transit employees provide a wealth of specialized knowledge and on-the-job experience. Likewise, transit passengers contribute to the security equation by providing thousands of extra eyes and ears capable of identifying possible life-threatening situations.

When transit employees and transit passengers pool these resources, the result is a highly effective first line of defense against a potential natural or man-made disaster. So, please make a commitment to becoming an alert, informed, prepared and involved member of this employee-passenger partnership.

Rest assured, your efforts will go a long way toward enhancing the safety and security of our transit system.
